    Angry

    Doesn't look like it's been apart as far as I can tell, has all been degeased of course cause that's what car yards do to make em look good. It was even spit pollished underneath. Should have known, these things are leakers and it was all clean so who knows what it was like before I saw it.

    Original diagnosis was done by a company (not sure if I'm aloud to use names, if not, I apologise) called Rally Offroad in Geelong, they're an arm off Rally Motors and have a pretty clean rep. Also had a mate who's a head mechanic at ford say same.

    Car salesman willing to swap for something else of same value but now I have to wait till he gets something in that will suit.

    Is apparently quite common but misdiagnosed, piston expands with heat and then when they cool, sometimes they shrink ever so slightly more than original size which gives them room to move left and right inside the cylinder getting worse till she finally drops a leg out of bed.
